15 Minute Inspiration Challenge

Happy Wednesday!

I have tried to do the 15 minute challenge at Stamp-a-holics when I can.  I think it is fun but I rarely even finish my project within  the time frame.  Today’s card was no exception.  I always start with good intentions but for some reason something goes wrong and it messes up my time.  Oh well, it is a challenge to me anyway.     

This week was an inspiration challenge.  We had this beautiful picture as our inspiration.

I saw the colors Daffodil, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, and Bravo Burgundy.  I wanted to create a silhouette type image for the card so I stamped my image from Just Believe in Staz-On Black.  Next I started with my Daffodil and I tried sponging on the color.  This was not giving me the intensity I wanted so I switched to my sponge daubers.  This was better but I had to be careful to avoid the circle you get if you press to hard when you have inked your dauber.  I continued with the Daffodil until I was happy with my color. 

Next I used Pumpkin and used the same procedure.  When I was happy with the color I repeated with Cajun Craze and then finally with Bravo Burgundy.  When I was done it still seemed to need something to me so I used my Black and the procedure to apply color to the corners. 

I think I need to practice more on my sponging as my colors don’t blend very well.  If anyone has any hints I would welcome them.  Here is my creation.

I actually like the inside better than the outside.  🙂  Thanks for looking and have a Wonderful Wednesday!
